I put a couple new parts on my WF. I had a bracket made from a rusty original Lon Saeger has and put one of my boxes from Fred Wilke on it. Steve Barbato will probably recognize the battery cable - it arrived today. Then out to the usual photo spot.  |

For a moment I thought you also got parts of Steve's WF!!!! ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance. Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. |

| You can see I still need to get the other 5/8 square head bolt from Steve's WF to fill the other hole in the box support. When I was stealing parts I must have dropped that one. Then it still really needs a cleaning, I'd like to paint the whole thing too so it isn't Corporate Orange. I painted the new parts the correct Persian Orange which is the only orange I have. |

Sheesh! That WF of mine is all over the world! No wonder it came up missing!! And I thought it had to do with the "force" LOL! Tom, you'll definately have to glass bead that bolt that's fur' sure if its like the rest of what ever's left of my WF! Most of it went to England I believe..... I thought Chuck dropped that WF off in PA. not Oklahoma.......

Well Tom, the corporate Orange looks better than the rusty Orange of most of my stuff. Nice pair you have there.

| And nothing completes a restoration like a well rusted factory original field tested bolt! And here I was thinking I'd have to go with a new one from McMaster - Whew, people would have been walking by it saying that bolt's not original! |
